Art Gissendaner resigned Iasi week as the director of Univer­sity
News and Publications. He was not available for comment
as to the reasons for his actions.
Tony Ross, dean of students, said he was “ obviously very
disappointed” over Gissendaner’s resignation.
Ross said he doesn't feel that Gissendaner’s resignation had
anything to do with his performance.
In a telephone interview Tuesday morning, Jim Files,
associate professor, School of Communication, said he was ask­ed
by the president’s office Monday to take over as University
News and Publications director starting July 1.
“ I was asked to take it on and 1 said, “ Yeah, I’ll do it” ,”
said Files.
He was notified of the job opening last week by the presi­dent’s
office while in Oklahoma.
In an interview with assistant to the president, Gus Cotera,
later in the day, it was confirmed that Gissendaner had indeed
resigned.
Cotera also said that no decision has been made as to who
will be the next University News and Publications director.
“ We have not made a decision yet. We hope to make a deci­sion
within the week,” he said. “ We have several options under
consideration at this time.”
Following the interview with Cotera, a second interview was
conducted with Files. In the second interview Files responded
to each question by saying “ You’ll have to talk to Dr. Cotera
about that.”
“ Right now I’m just being considered,” he said.

Larry Bohlender’s administrative contract as faculty adviser
of The Lumberjack has not been renewed.
Bohlender said he first became aware that he would probably
be removed as adviser on May 22 during a conversation with
former vice president for academic affairs, Joseph Cox.
“ I found out that he would be recommending to President
Hughes that my administrative contract (with The Lumberjack)
not be renewed,” Bohlender said.
Then on May 26, Bohlender recieved a letter from Cox in­forming
him that although his academic contract would be
renewed, his contract as adviser would not.
In the letter Cox said, “ You’ve had this administrative con­tract
for some time and I feel that a change would be ap­propriate
for all concerned.”
Cox also recommended that The Lumberjack might be bet­ter
off with an independent adviser instead of a faculty adviser
from the journalism department.
Bohlender said, “ I believe there are philisophical differences
between what the administration believes the newspaper should
be doing and what most journalism faculty believe the
newspaper should be doing.
“ And the person who holds the faculty adviser position is
the person who is caught in the vice,” he said.
“ My deepest regret is that the communication in the pro­cess
wasn’t better,” he said.
Bohlender intends to return in the fall to teach.
“ My understanding is that he is an excellent teacher,” said
Patsy Reed, interim vice president for academic affairs. She
could not comment on the status of Bohlender’s contracts
because Cox was responsible for the recommendation to
Hughes.
However, she said that although her associations with The
Lumberjack have been limited, they have also been “ very
positive” .

Three women athletes have given NAU’s track,
cross-country and basketball programs some na­tional
recognition.
These feats range from placing in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association outdoor track meet
to having a story published in Sports Illustrated.
Angela Chalmers placed third in the 1,500 meter
race and fifth in the 3,000 meter race in the NCAA
outdoor track meet in Louisiana. Paula Feuerbach
placed 10th in the high jump with a jump of five
feet nine and one-quarter inches.
Ron Mann, NAU’s track coach, said Chalmers
time, 4:12.06, in the 1,500 meter broke the old meet
record and would have won the meet in any of the
past meets.
Chalmers is a eight time All-American in track
and cross country combined. She also won the
Broderick Award for cross country. Chalmers is the
NCAA women’s cross country champion.
The Broderick Award is award to the Outstan­ding
Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. There
are ten athletes from their prespective sports and
in January the winner will annouced at the NCAA
general meetings in Nashville, Tenn. The Broderick
Award is the most prestigious award for collegiate
women in the United States.
Angela Chalmers is hoping to run in the Olym­pics
in 1988 for Canada. She is hoping to compete
in the Pan American games and the World Cham­pionships
this year. The Pan American games will
be held at Indianapolis, Indiana in August.
Tracy Barnes was one of the four student-athlete
graduates who were written about in Sports 11-
lustrated’s June 8th issue. Barnes graduated with
a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and had a
4.0 GPA.
Barnes, who is from Albuquerque N.M., is a on
the First-team GTE/COSI DA Academic All-
America. Barnes lead the lumberjacks in assists and
was the second leading scorer and rebounder.
This is the first time a NAU athlete has been writ­ten
about in Sports Illustrated. This should help in
recruiting in all sports, according to NAU’s sports
and information office.
